    was in france recentley and came across this place

    Guedelon - its basically a medeivel castle being built, from scratch using medeival building techniques
    great day out if your round auxerre (its about an hour south)

    you can wander round workshops and the castle itself, really interesting

    there were 1/2 hour queues to get in when we went

    forgot to mention started in 1997 and projected finish date is 2025 so plenty of time to go for a look (its now self funding from visitors and i guess donations)

    Wow, that's seriously cool :cool: There are a few places like Butser Ancient farm and West Stow in the UK, and a fort that my old re-enactment group (Regia Anglorum) have been building, but a whole castle is amazing!

    A pc game I played recently had some medieval type building going on and it was one of the more interesting parts of it. I notice they are leaving the drawbridge until last. That would probably be the most complex part of it.
